"You mention she was older. This doesn't excuse it, but it may explain it. I remember my mother using a derogatory term once, but there was not a racist bone in her body; it was simply what she grew up with" I agree , my mother had Alzheimer’s and would often say inappropriate things , she was scared by women in the hijab and burka , would comment about what she perceived as strange dress , she also could be loud about obese people . It was very difficult because in her better years she had friends of all nationalities and sizes and welcomed everyone to her home . | |||

"In Boots yesterday, I had to tell an older woman twice not to be racist about a young woman in the queue ahead of us. She genuinely didn't give a shit. Have racists become emboldened in recent years? I was genuinely shocked how she wasn't even embarrassed. " In what way was she racist and what prompted her to behave like this? | |||

"Seems a racist is anyone who says something that another person doesn’t agree with . In fact in present times it seems to have lost any meaning or significance ." It's a meaningless buzzword and the people using it are becoming increasingly desperate, knowing that it is quickly losing the power it once had. Same as incel. Another stupid term that idiots throw around to feel better than other people. I've seen Henry Fucking Cavill called an incel. | |||

"Dear Mr Thin White Duke. No one on here has made a racist comment yet you've just accused two members of being racist. Plus it is true you only told half the story. What did the woman in Boots say against the innocent young lady? Do Boots even open on a Sunday?" I hadn't taken in his username until this comment. It is amusing that he picked the Bowie persona from his nazi period. | |||

"I noticed that some people here are curious about what that lady said while waiting in the queue Let’s say she mentioned something like, "Why don’t they ever hire people who can speak proper English here?" That would definitely be a discriminatory comment and should be addressed. A lot of guys here on fab use phrases they think are fine, but they’re actually discriminatory remarks. When you point it out, they often claim it was just a joke. We’re not living in the 70s or 80s anymore, so we need to be mindful of what we say in public. It’s not a bad thing to be cautious, and no one should get upset about it unless they’re racist and don’t care. " Thank you for your advice, from the Olympian heights of your personal opinion. Who's this "we", Tonto? And why DO "they" hire customer-facing people who speak unintelligibly ? Isn't your hypothetical simply fair comment? It would be if the counter girl were white, wouldn't it? | |||

Of course people will speak different languages. Clearly not the same thing as what we're talking about.

If someone whose job it is to deal with the public cannot articulate himself in such a way that he can be understood, he isn't "qualified." If I learned Japanese, and went to Japan, but couldn't speak it so native Japanese could understand, I'd never get hired anywhere. Who cares if it's "racism" at that point (it isn't) it's just basic common sense. | |||

""Why don’t they ever hire people who can speak proper English here?" That's not racist. It's common sense Only in the West will you get called discriminatory for wanting someone to speak your native language when in your country. Try this shit in any other country and you'd be laughed out of the room. " In the 1990s I spent just over a year in Japan, living and working with a team of 35 to 40 British people and the Japanese we interacted through work all spoke decent English so it was hard to pick up the lingo but I tried and made some progress, in those days I worked in many different countries and always tried to learn the language but usually not with great success. My point is our job was in engineering and we never dealt with the Japanese public, if they had have put us to work face to face with the Nippon public obviously it would have been an idiotic ridiculous thing to do, it would not have been the slightest bit racist if someone pointed out our limited grasp of the Nippon lingo made us totally unsuitable for a face to face position with the Japanese public. Not putting us in that position was not racist, it was common sense. | |||

"I think the OP is despetate to stir up racism, by creating a ficticious event. It's a lypical leftie trait, to influence the gullible. And being conspiratorial is very much a typical trait of the right. Btw, it's unhinged to be a transvestite and on the right wing, your own people despise you! Nobody despises me when they're fucking me, not even Reform supporters 😘 They do. Your existence relies on the left wing fighting for your rights. You don't exist in a right wing utopia. Keep voting for Christmas though, Turkey." 😂😂😂😂😂😂Oh yes!! the lefties will fight for your existence as long as you tow their line, don’t think for yourself and do as they say, not as they do!!!! | |||

It's about more than just accent, languages are structured differently across the globe which makes it hard for those speaking a second one to puts the verbs, nouns etc in the right place. Japan is a good example of this because they say some things that would sound backward if you translated them directly. It's not racist or hateful to want to be able to understand the people talking to you. Those pretending it is are either truly not getting the point or are bad faith agents trying to stir division where there isn't any. | |||

A lot of people think it's fine, but being in a position where you're a minority in society and people are trying to mock you is a whole different ball game. What you believe isn't always right unless you've actually been in that situation yourself. There's a science behind it; otherwise, it wouldn't have made it into the law. Discrimination based on language is illegal in the UK. | |||

"Its a reaction to years of 'diversity' that no one wanted and our culture and history being s**t on and dismissed as 'shameful' and something to be hidden and re-written. There was always going to be paush-back. The same people crying about racism now have ironically caused it. Racism is the fault of people who protest against racism, as opposed to the people who are actually being racist? My word! 🤣 How did you think people would react when they are called racist and their culture rubbished Einstein? Or do you make a good living from race baiting?" Race baiting? Fuck me, you're just brimming with hot takes aren't you, ya dafty? | |||

"Is it normal that you can't call an event whiteraven because you could be accused of racism?" We need some context here. What sort of event are we talking about? If it's a meeting of ornithologists, it's probably fine. If it was a meeting of Combat 18, not so much. | |||

"Always funny to see the braindead racist cunts come out in these threads. Thick as fuck" Which racist comments are you referring to? I've read them all, although it's 10 mins of my life, I'll never get back.... All I've seen is bitching and name calling, also accusations that someone is a racist, without any credibility whatsoever. The hatred is absolutely shameful! | |||

You are complaining about something you overheard in a queue in a shop. In the 80s my wife was of Indian descent. We had two kids. When we went out with them, I was regularly shouted at, spat at, punched etc. just for walking down the street with my wife and kids. That wasn’t just by white people either. We were abused by white people, Asian people and black people. If you think that someone muttering in a queue in a shop is a racist being bold, then you clearly have never suffered racism. | |||

""Why don’t they ever hire people who can speak proper English here?" That's not racist. No it is especially if he is a qualified worker with a foreign accent. Even if he is a native speaker, this is often called "linguistic racism". If someone whose job it is to deal with the public cannot articulate himself in such a way that he can be understood, he isn't "qualified." If I learned Japanese, and went to Japan, but couldn't speak it so native Japanese could understand, I'd never get hired anywhere. Who cares if it's "racism" at that point (it isn't) it's just basic common sense. Making fun of or criticising someone's accent can be seen as racist, even if race isn't directly mentioned. It is not that complicated" Lol. So if im white and im making fun of another white guys accent...... then im racist?  | |||

If someone whose job it is to deal with the public cannot articulate himself in such a way that he can be understood, he isn't "qualified." If I learned Japanese, and went to Japan, but couldn't speak it so native Japanese could understand, I'd never get hired anywhere. Who cares if it's "racism" at that point (it isn't) it's just basic common sense. Making fun of or criticising someone's accent can be seen as racist, even if race isn't directly mentioned. It is not that complicated Lol. So if im white and im making fun of another white guys accent...... then im racist? "BBC : Mocking someone's accent within the same race is generally viewed as prejudiced or xenophobic rather than strictly racist, though it can still fall under the umbrella of "linguistic racism" in certain legal and social contexts. | |||

"... Racists are less bold now than in the 80s. Far less bold. You are complaining about something you overheard in a queue in a shop. In the 80s my wife was of Indian descent. We had two kids. When we went out with them, I was regularly shouted at, spat at, punched etc. just for walking down the street with my wife and kids. That wasn’t just by white people either. We were abused by white people, Asian people and black people. If you think that someone muttering in a queue in a shop is a racist being bold, then you clearly have never suffered racism. " This ...100% Everyone is a racist until you meet a real racist, then it's .. Whoa?! | |||

"My sister was groomed and abused by the migrants that ran our _ocal chicken shop. People are more racist now because of the crimes we have suffered. Look up Henry Nowak" Yep. On one hand you have people moaning about mean words. On the other you have men being stabbed to death with the rats who attacked them using "racism" as a defence. | |||

Racism is just a meaningless buzzword nowadays used to shame those who criticise certain groups into silence. That's all this thread has been. Articulate points, the only response being smug condescension and insults. Because that's all they have. | |||

"You mention she was older. This doesn't excuse it, but it may explain it. I remember my mother using a derogatory term once, but there was not a racist bone in her body; it was simply what she grew up with" I know just what you mean there buddy. My mum was exactly the same. She would have been mortified if she was thought of as being racist xx | |||

"It's like Craftywank Grimes' Twitter feed in here. No idea who that is" Former GB News sex pest, shirker of his elected council responsibilities, resembler of some weird, creepy mannequin but more plastcky looking, embezzler of £750k of Vote Leave cash (found guilty but not convicted as the judge essentially said he was too stupid to understand what he was doing) and constant metaphorical sucker of Farage's rancid dick. You'd probably like him. | |||

"In Boots yesterday, I had to tell an older woman twice not to be racist about a young woman in the queue ahead of us. She genuinely didn't give a shit. Have racists become emboldened in recent years? I was genuinely shocked how she wasn't even embarrassed. " Hmmm? 🤔..... Oh dear! Wearing boots in a late May heatwave? A tad too warm for that, isn’t it? 🥵 Also, the terms ‘older woman’ and ‘young woman’ — are these not examples of blatant ageism and sexism on your part?🤔 And ‘racist’ is a pretty strong word, all too easily bandied about these days. It’s now almost become meaningless. Also, if a 'shit' had been given, just exactly what were you planning to do with it?💩 Are you sure the incident wasn’t just a generational miscommunication? I’m also puzzled as to why you felt personally obliged to police a queue. Have you considered that minding one's own business, in some circumstances, is also a vital social skill too? 🫣......😉 | |||
